Programme Notes: The piano brands for the Concertante for Four Pianos was Collard.—The programme is based on the survived programme at the British Library. Yet it seems that the programme may not be identical to what was performed. The flutist advertised in the programme was Mr. Boehm, whereas the reviews mention Mr. Bucher. Additionally, there is not a reference in the reviews nor the advertisements for the Overture in the Second Part. Instead they mention a Quatuor Concertante towards the end of the second part performed by Messrs. Cramer, Herz, Moscheles, Pixis. The Overture may have been replaced by the Concertante.

Encore: Overture, The Magic Flute for Three Pianos-12 Hands—Messrs. Cramer, Moscheles. Herz, Pixis, Schulz, Osborne—Mozart

CONCERT.— WILLIS’S ROOMS. 

Mademoiselle FRANCILLA PIXIS had a Morning Concert at these Rooms on Saturday. It was one of the best attended, and most deserving of such attendance, of the season. The opening of the first part; MOZART’S overture to The Magic Flute, performed on three pianofortes, by twelve hands, CRAMER, MOSCHELES, HERZ, PIXIS, SCHULZ, and OSBORNE, was a delightful and novel treat; it was so considered by the audience, and encored. Then followed Mademoiselle PIXIS, an aria, Notte Tremendœ, with an obligato flute accompaniment by BUCHER, beyond all praise. Madame SCHRŒDER DEVRIENT and M. HAITZINGER sang some charming duets. The great novelty of the whole performance, however, was a fantasia, consisting of variations of Marlbrook, on the flute, by Mr. BUCHER, most sweetly and brilliantly executed. Mr. B. was overwhelmed with the plaudits which burst forth at the end of each variation. He has established his reputation as the first flutist of the age—the PAGANINI of that instrument. All the flutists in the metropolis were present expressly to hear this performance. PAGANINI cordially joined in the applause. The Concert ended with a grand quatuor concertante for four pianofortes, by Messrs. HERZ, CRAMER, MOSCHELES, and PIXIS.

Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette (July 4, 1833): 3.

Pixis’s Concert in London last week, afforded an extraordinary treat to those who were present. Cramer, Moschelles, Hertz [sic], and Pixis played a piece on four pianos (all by Collard and Co.), and the effect of which was surprisingly striking. To hear four such players separately in one concert, would have been no small attraction, but to hear them all performing in the same piece of music must have been gratification of the most surpassing kind.

Miss Pixis.

MADEMOISELLE FRANCILLA PIXIS gave a Morning Concert on Saturday last at Willis’s Rooms. It was numerously and fashionably attended; and to the lovers of music generally, but particularly to the admires of piano-forte music, it afforded a rich treat. The first part commenced with the Overture to ‘Zauberflaute,’ performed on three pianos by Cramer, Moscheles, Herz Pixis, Schulz, and G. Osborne. It is impossible to imagine anything finer than the effect produced by these first-rate artists—the applause was immense. Towards the conclusion of the second part, Herz, Cramer, Moscheles, and Pixis, gave us a Concertante on four pianos, which was also brilliantly beautiful. Mademoiselle Pixis sang ‘Notte Tremenda,’ a Duet with Miss S. Osborne, and a German Air with variations. She has every requisite for constituting a fine singer—taste, feeling, and an excellent contra-alto voice; but at present some of her tones are harsh—they want delicacy and finish.

Madame Schrœder Devrient gave us the scene from Der Freischutz in her own unparalleled style. She also took a part in a Trio with Haitzinger and Herr Dobler. Mori performed a Fantasia on the violin, in a manner which left us nothing to wish for, and called forth bursts of applause, we have seldom heard anything give more satisfaction than the Fantasia on the flute by Bucher; the style was quite original: in fact, each morceaux at this concert was in itself perfect—and we heartily congratulate Mademoiselle Pixis on her selection.
